Last year the U.S. Department of Justice said “game over” to several high tech companies engaged in anticompetitive hiring. Now the employees hurt by those practices want the companies to pay up.
Siddharth Hariharan, a former software engineer at Lucasfilm Ltd., filed a class action lawsuit Wednesday against the production company and six alleged co-conspirators in California Superior Court. Hariharan claims Lucasfilm, Adobe Systems Inc., Apple Inc., Google Inc., Intel Corporation, Intuit Inc., and Pixar Animation Studios Inc. fixed the pay of their workers and entered into “no solicitation” agreements with each other.
